Get Rid Of Blackheads In 5 Minutes- Blackhead Removal

Blackheads on face are a common problem which all of us face, especially the blackheads on nose and areas around it. Though scrubbing helps to get rid of black heads to some extent but the results are not much satisfactory. Here’s one quick and very effective homemade natural blackhead remover.

You just need to grab half lemon from your fridge(doesn’t matter if some juice is already squeezed from it) and put 3-4 drops ofhoneyon it. Now just rub the lemon on your face for some time, make sure you emphasize on the black heads prone areas like nose, chin etc. Leave the lemon and honey mixture on your face for 5 minutes and then wash it with cold water. You will be able to see the results immediately. Additionally, lemon juice will also fade other marks/spots on the face and honey will moisturize. So what are you waiting for friends , go and try this one out. Checkout my suggested routine for blackhead removal.

P.S.- This is a natural remedy so it’s effectiveness may vary for different skin types. Depending upon skin type you might have to try it 1-2 times a week to see it’s effect. Also people who are sensitive to lemon please use it as per your discretion

I just tried this. I don’t see a difference in my pores or blackhead areas like my nose or chin, but my skin does feel really soft and smooth. I like this for softness but I don’t think it does anything to blackheads unless someone has a really bad problem that I don’t have. 🙂

@Shannon – I am glad you tried it. This honey and lemon therapy worked very effectively for me but maybe it’s not that effective for your skin type. Maybe apply it for some days and you might see some change.

Love this trick. Didn’t have that many black heads but on pimples and areas of redness it works wonders! This is a must try. But I used Bavarian all natural honey straight from the honeycomb, which I think made this trick work a lot better.

@Alexis – Lemon and honey are natural ingredients so should not be problem. But still you can first try on your hand to see if it suits you. Also stay tuned I will be posting some things for sensitive skin too…

Jyst wanted to make the point that sime because this is natural does not mean it can be used all the time! I wouldn’t do it more than 3 times a week. Plus lemon is a photosensitizer-meaning it makes your skin more sensitize to sunlight. Make sure you use sunscreen daily if you’re doing this. With that said- it is an awesome home and natural remedy for blackheads! Not only does the honey moisturize, but most people don’t realize it is an anti-infective and anti-microbial :I)

@ C – This recipe has worked for most of the people for blackhead removal. Lemon is acidic in nature and hence it removes the dead skin letting the new growth of skin.This shedding of the outer layer unclogs pores, keeps skin clean, and helps reduces blackheads.

Please ladies, do not rub citrus on your face. If you do this and then go out in the sun, your face will burn! Red, itchy blisters are no fun! Even rinsing it off with water won’t help. Trust me, I’ve made this mistake. I bit into a lime at the beach and promptly scrubbed my face with water and some sand to get the juice off so I wouldn’t burn. Sure enough though, that evening, the entire area surrounding my mouth was red and itchy and then started to peel. Lasted a week or so. It was horrible! If you really feel the need to try this, scrub with a face wash afterwards and apply sunscreen. Water does not remove all the citrus juice.

It worked for me (mostly)! I saw a noticeable difference in the darkness of my black heads. I have very sensitive acne prone skin and any kind of rubbing, even putting on lotion, will turn my skin bright red! Happily this treatment didnt turn me all tomato-y!!! I also saw reduced inflammation in the other pimple on my face yay! I love the way honey makes my face feel too, if you have sensitive skin look up home made honey face masks you can use, it helps a lot! And to all of those who say the lemon makes you more sun sensitive, so does every other acne treatment you use! If you have acne you MUST wear some non-pore clogging sunscreen!

I just tried this. It really worked great! I had a lot of blackheads that I’ve never seemed to get rid of, and after this treatment most all of them are gone. The lemon stung a little at first, but after a few mins it calmed down. My skin now feels soothed, rejuvenated, and clean. Thanks for sharing!

It worked for me =) Even better than the DIY pore strips. I scrubbed for the entire 5 mins, not hard. At first I thought it wouldnt work but I could see the results when the time was up and I rinsed. & I did this at night so it shouldnt be a problem with the sun. This was a nice treat for my skin
Thanks!

I am definitely giving this recipe a try, however I feel as though you should have a little disclaimer for people who may not see results immediately after their first use and also maybe a note that says to use 2-3 times a week because people seem to be getting angry that it doesn’t work for them right away due to skin type variance. I cannot wait to try it though!

I am a teenager who tried this for the first time. For me, nothing happened at first and I was slightly dissapointed. Then the day after, my mom noticed that I had broken out where I had used the honey and lemon, so then I was quite dissapointed.

Thanks I have tried it and this most certainly worked! I just wished i wasn’t so foolish and put in on my entire face O_o. No one fault but mine that i have little heat looking bumps on my face. But my blackheads are gone from around my nose at least :-/

u sure it wont wround the skin bc im 15 and i do have this one blackhead but i dont want it to damage my skin..should i just use it on top of that black hole area? also is this good for dry skin bc i have really dry skin???

@Bethany
Don’t give up. If you broke out more, that means that you had underlying acne that was going to come out and the lemon/honey brought it out sooner. I would suggest you do this 2-3 times a week and let it work for you. You can’t give up after the first try.

I am a mother of three, working a more-than-full-time job. Needless to say, I don’t have much to time, so I like to keep things pretty low maintenance. This treatment was amazing! It sounded appealing due to the fact it only had two ingredients and would only take minutes. It absolutely worked. It didn’t just clear up blemishes, it made my skin feel tighter and more smooth. I will definitely be trying this again.

@Jenna – Please go ahead and try out this home remedy. I would suggest you try one thing at a time, we dont want to trouble our acne too much all of a sudden. If this remedy works good for you then you can continue with other stuff.

I loveeeeeeee it. Im a mom and wife who’s about to be
be 40 yrs young. I’ve the typical black wiman’s curse. Since age 11 I’ve had very extremely oily skin with unsightly acne, blackness and Imblemish and dull basically unseen skin. So obviously over the years spent buckets of money and no help. So this year i decided to go all natural and dumped all the expensive no good products. So my birthday is in July and Im going to celebrate it with A VERY CLEAR AND SMOOTH SKIN YAYYYYY

I was wondering – does it have to be an actual lemon? Can we use the lemon juice and honey mixture on a cotton ball and apply it that way? Or are there specific properties that only an actual lemon has that make this method effective? Thank you!

I cannot use honey because I am allergic. Is there any kind of substitute I could use because I would love to try this. It’s senior year and all through high school I’ve tried everything but nothing gets rid of my black heads. I have prom coming up soon and less than a month later is graduatuion. Any help would be great.

Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I’ve done this before to brighten my skin after too much sun exposure. It worked great for brightening and evening my skin tone, and the honey was a nice moisturizer. I have fair skin. For people who say it didn’t work for blackheads, I would suggest repeatedly dabbing honey on the spots quickly. I’ve heard that helps, partly because it lifts the blackheads like a pore strip would. For people with sensitive skin worried about redness, I’ve read that you can add cinnamon to help.
